Going “Turtle”

Our hockey team had an amazing game this week where we knocked off the first place, previously undefeated team. During the game, one of our centers enraged one of the other team’s players by high-sticking him in the head. As our center will still relate in his defense, the high-stick was accidental. That didn’t stop the other player from jumping up off the ice, dropping the gloves, and going after our center. Our center “went turtle,” thereby drawing a match penalty for the other guy, while all our guy got was a minor penalty. He took one for the team to get rid of one of their best players. This, however, didn’t prevent us from taking the piss out of our guy in the locker room and teasing him for “going turtle.” In the midst of those yucks, this drawing was born.
